Your data is telling a story

Data is all around us. Discover what your data is revealing to you. Spot trends and patterns and gain instant insight. Interact with data conversationally. Turn those seemingly endless spreadsheets into a story with one-click data visualizations. Test correlations, discover relationships, and get meaningful answers.

What you need in a smart data discovery solution

Conversational interaction

Ask questions and get recommendations using the common terms and phrases you use on a daily basis (Natural Language Processing). Guided interactive discovery in natural language can deliver deeper and smarter insights than data visualization alone.

Automated insights

Your understanding and experience impact the way you collect, analyze and report on data. Misinterpreted or incomplete data can lead to unintended consequences and hide the real drivers of your business. Built-in algorithms and predictive models automatically find relevant insights for you. With automated discovery and analysis, you will never have to know what to ask, reducing the opportunity for bias to influence your results.

A comprehensive view

Access structured and unstructured information from all the sources you need in one place. Expand your view when combined with sources, like weather, social, and geospatial data, along with built-in connectors, so you can have a comprehensive view of your business. Bring your insights back into your business and drive decision-making for greater impact.
